Molecular pathology and parasitology
A.A. 2024/2025
Obiettivi formativi
Aim of the course is to provide students with instruments to understand the molecular bases of animal cancer, metabolic and parasitic diseases, and how they may be used as model for human counterparts
Students will learn how to link molecular modifications with diagnostics.

Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
The course exam will be written, and includes multiple-choice questions (only one answer correct and 3 options to choose from), tables to fill in, lists, and other similar and open-ended questions.
Instructions on the conduct of the exam, date, and time will be communicated at the beginning of the course, will be available on the Ariel website, and if necessary or required, sent via email to student representatives. The questions will all be drawn exclusively from the course materials provided by the lecturers. The exam will consist of a congruent number of questions and score such that the entire range of grades related to passing the exam from 18 to 30 cum laude will be allowed.
